I think it'll be Michigan but, once again, college football has a mess. Changed the rules one year too late. Some very good teams won't get a shot. I think the four will be Michigan, Washington, FSU, and Alabama. Texas, Georgia, and Ohio State just miss out. But of course, FSU will get destroyed without a QB.
It should be Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Bama. FSU lost its QB and isn't remotely the same team without him. This should be about picking the best four teams, period. FSU without Jordan Travis is not one of the best four teams. Yet, I have a feeling FSU will make it because they'll be too gutless to leave them out, and we'll all suffer for it.
If Jayden Daniels is available, we need to take him. That's my perspective. He's going to be such a weapon, and Sean could do special things with a QB who has the gifts Daniels does.
Agreed. And as Jrry pointed out FSU losing their QB should matter in this particular clusterfuck.
Well if we're gonna penalize FSU for losing their starting QB and winning their last two games despite that fact, by replacing them with #8 Alabama, why are we keeping Georgia out? Hell, lets screw Texas too. Or better yet....just hold one vote a year.....at the end of the CCGs that way nobody gets screwed because you can simply pick the 4 best teams regardless of how many players or games they've lost.
Or should it matter that despite losing their star starting QB, their defense showed it may be the best in the country?
If Michigan loses McCarthy or Washington loses Penix in round one, they're not one of the 4 best teams anymore?
That's a silly question.
No it's not a silly question. Here's another one. If Georgia or Alabama (or insert any of the top 8 teams) lost their starting QB prior to the CCG, would they have won anyway? I have a feeling they're going to only drop Georgia to #4. Alabama doesn't deserve a top 4 ranking after losing to Texas and needing a prayer to beat Auburn. Milroe can look good one game and look terrible the next. Georgia has won 41 of it's last 43 games. They got screwed on that 4th down pass reception that actually hit the ground.
Absolutely. Because the previous 13 weeks don't matter. What matters is TV ratings. Nobody is gonna watch a team with a backup QB play an undefeated Washington Huskies team. And the team that won 41 of their last 43 should never get in over the team who gave them those 2 losses. But it's okay to put a team in over a team that beat them soundly, earlier in the year. So many questions, so many contradictions, so much politics. Bottom line is this.....the CFP should never be without an SEC team!!
It is a silly question, because thats what a semi final is all about. Surviving and reaching the final.
If it was about TV money, FSU would have no chance. TV ratings will suffer greatly when they get picked
No FSU should be rewarded because they lost their starting QB, then their backup QB and managed to still go undefeated because they have a great defense. They actually "survived" to reach the semi finals. Did Georgia survive? Did Oregon? No. Did Alabama earn their way into the semi finals only because they are an SEC team, even if they are extremely inconsistent? I want to watch great football too. I am open to the possibility, that can happen without an SEC team and FSU in the final 4.
FSU is incapable of winning the Championship with their current roster.
I'd agree with you which is why I don't think they should or will be in the final 4.
Lol, I dont know why you were attached to that post
